| Abstract: | Milky Way is a typical barred spiral galaxy and is one of few galaxies where we can resolve the stellar populations. A thorough understanding of the Galaxy provides strong clues how other spiral galaxies form and evolve. However, our picture of the Milky Way is far from complete with many of its basic parameters remain ill determined. I will review some recent progress on the photometric and dynamical modelling of the Milky Way bar, and discuss future prospects in the field. |
